JohnC Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 2 minutes ago, Buffalo716 said: Exactly. I said I would’ve drafted him as a SR out of HS because mentally he was way ahead of everybody What makes him special is not how he handles success so much as how he handles mishaps and bad plays. A bad play by him or a teammate has little residual effect on his next play. He is like a battlefield surgeon who has a severely wounded patient die on his table. His response is who's next on the schedule to be opened up? That's a cold blooded trait that you naturally have and can't be taught. It's the same trait that Mafia hit man have. Cold-blooded workers who focus on the task at hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIg, strong arm, mobile. Overall I don't see this as a good move on his part but will probably end up on someone's practice squad. Not a prayer. Don't forget UB trains at the Bills fieldhouse, so scouts can just walk down the hall to check out players. You want a dark horse low round/UDFA candidate, look at Gus Ragland at Miami OH.

Someone has him in the 1st and someone else has him undrafted. He doesn’t need 32 teams to believe in him. He needs 1. Toolsy prospects ALWAYS get pushed up because of that. His ceiling his high and his floor is really low. FWIW, I don’t like him as a pro prospect. I’m not saying what I would do. I’m saying what I think will happen. I’m thinking between 90-150.

Similar prospects OK.......but whereas Cardale was constantly working every excuse possible to go back to C-Bus to hang out with his college teammates(and throw em kickass draft parties) rather than stay in Buffalo and work at his QB craft...........Tyree can do that AND stay in Buffalo.

The Senator Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Tyree has the one QB asset that cannot be taught - 6 feet 7 inches tall! i agree with the pundits who say he would benefit greatly by playing out his senior year, but I also can’t blame him for trying his luck in the draft, rather than risking a devastating injury while still in college. Remember what happened to Willis McGahee in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl? Tore his ACL, PCL, and MCL, dropped from a certain top 5 pick to #23, and sat out the entire 2003 season to undergo several surgeries and rehabilitation. Jeez, I don’t know why these NFL-bound guys even risk playing bowl games. That said, I would love to see the Bills sign Jackson as a UDFA. Maybe he could be our 3rd QB, or find a spot on the practice squad. JMO . Edited January 27, 2019 by The Senator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I don’t know how good he will be or how long he will last, but he has possibly the best arm in this draft. He is exactly the type of qb you draft in later rounds and try to develop.

Except we are entrenched with 3 QBs who will be better than TJ next season... he will automatically be 4th on the DC we aren’t keeping 4 and that leaves PS... he would be scooped if we left him him. they like Anderson and Barkley.

TigerJ Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I wouldn't totally rule out Buffalo signing TJ as a UDFA and keeping him on the PS, but I don't expect it either. He is more likely to get drafted late by another team. There's no reaso for Buffalo to go chasing after a QB in the draft when they have their QB threesome set for next season.

Dime a dozen journeyman backups are so easy to find. I believe your qb roster should consist of your starter, the veteran non threatening backup, and developmental guys. smart teams don’t not get a good prospect because they have a Barkley or Anderson.

What is your definition of a good prospect? He isn’t a special QB prospect . He is tall with a strong arm and good athleticism ... he isn’t Josh Allen. I have a mid 5th grade on him he is a developmental prospect I am the biggest UB homer you will ever find... and Have seen every snap of his career... but I don’t think he has a chance to ever be a NFL starter Anderson is in a mentor role, and he won’t outplay him or Barkley. We have already seen we can get down to #3 and next year TJ won’t outplay either chances are he doesn't last a decade like Anderson 7th round I’m cool.. round 5 we can get a good RB prospect or a DB , LB with some upside i just don’t see him beating out any of our QBs Edited January 27, 2019 by Buffalo716 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all UB fans will appreciate him more when the program takes a step back the next couple of years. He isnt a day 1 starter but is a perfect developmental prospect. He has the best arm in the draft, is huge, and mobile. He has some really nice touches passes as well. He has plenty to work on but he seems like a guy who could sit behind an established starter and maybe turn into something. Or maybe he won’t. But it’s weird that the best qb I ever remember UB having isn’t more popular on this board. 21 hours ago, PromoTheRobot said: Same here, being a UB homer, watching every snap.

He was great for the program and I appreciate everything he did ... and UB isn’t going to take a big step back... they are loaded and actually lost some games because Jackson played bad... they should compete for the mac east again i also have been scouting QBs for 25 plus years and have a bead on what makes a successful NFL QB... he just doesn’t cross off enough boxes I appreciate everything TJ Did for UB... was probably the first one on his train 4+ years ago ... but I’m not going to sugar coat a prospect because I Iove his school TJ was outplayed by backup drew Anderson last year. Regressed as the year went on this year... has a really long release and had bad lapses of judgment... trust me, I love TJ and wish him the best... I’m super excited he will become the first UB QB to be drafted and I wish him well... i just dont see a long career... he needed another year at school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 another year of school would have helped, sometimes they are just determined to leave and sometimes they “have to go”. Ernest Shazor was the biggest loss of a senior year and flop in the pros for my years of taking it all seriously. The sound of Shazor and Marlin Jackson cracking helmets at Ann Arbor stills rings out years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Senator Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) I’m guessing New England will take him, and earlier than anyone thinks. They need to start grooming Brady’s eventual replacement now, and TJ is the perfect project QB. He looked solid in the Senior Bowl, and has the one asset that cannot be taught - 6 feet 7 inches tall. He’d probably develop faster under a ‘QB Whisperer’ like Kliff Kingsbury, but Arizona already has their project QB in Josh Rosen. OTOH, NE can afford to take the time to develop Jackson, and who could be a better mentor than Brady? I wish Tyree all the best, and hope things turn out well for him. .

zow2 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I think some folks are down on Tyree because the team couldn't get it done in 3 of the final 4 games. Those were some big games. He was a great QB for the Bulls but there are definitely some question marks regarding the next level. It wouldn't surprise me though if Tyree looks better in an NFL camp than he is being projected to look. For me, it's his accuracy. If he can tweak that in a positive way, he has a decent shot to actually get on the field in real games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Tyree just doesn't pass the "eye test" for me; slow to process, elongated delivery, questionable accuracy, and I'm not sure about his leadership qualities. I'm going to be worried if I start hearing Jordan Palmer rave about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
